This presentation discusses air quality. Too much doom and gloom is spread about air pollution and not enough is said on actions done by countries like Canada and USA for the past 25+ years to improve air quality in their various countries
Canada needs to stop blaming all issues facing the environment on climate change. It is time for real solutions.
Environment - Air Quality Water and Land Management - November 2017paul young cpa, cga
Here is look at air quality, water and land management around the world. There is allot of talk on climate change, but little is said about poor environmental standards when it comes to air quality or land management or drinkable water.
Blog – Emissions and Environmental Policies – 2019 Analysis
1. https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services/climate-change/greenhouse-gas-emissions/sources-sinks-executive-summary-2020.html - After hovering between 700 and 720 megatonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (Mt CO2 eq) in recent years, in 2018 (the most recent annual dataset in this report) Canada’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions increased to 729 Mt CO2 eq. This increase is attributed to higher fuel consumption for transportation, winter heating and oil and gas extraction. Over the long term, Canada’s economy has grown more rapidly than its GHG emissions: the emissions intensity for the entire economy (GHG per Gross Domestic Product [GDP]) has declined by 36% since 1990 and 20% since 2005. Emission trends since 2005 remain consistent, with emission increases in the Oil and Gas and Transportation sectors being offset by decreases in other sectors, notably Electricity and Heavy Industry

Blog – Permits – Canada – Construction – June 2021
The total value of building permits rose 6.9% to $10.3 billion in June. Seven provinces contributed to the gain, led by Ontario, which jumped 22.7%. Construction intentions in the residential sector were up 9.1%, while the non-residential sector advanced 2.2%.
On a constant dollar basis (2012=100), building permits increased 5.2% to $7.2 billion.

How to Advance the Circular Economy through Climate Mitigation Policies paul young cpa, cga
Blog – Growing the Circular Economy through better Climate Mitigation Policies
I support better policies that encourage both the private and public sectors to move their operation model to zero-waste. More work needs to be done on policies related to waste-to-energy (CCA) or abolishing carbon taxation or streamlining of regulations and taxes or tax credits for environmental work, i.e., tree plant or water management or other areas of the environment.

This presentation looks at Eco Terrorism
Eco Terrorism is growing in terms of risk. All level of government need to look at the issues including water management, land management, forest management and building codes
More radical environmentalists are trying to hijack the government agenda when it comes to environment.
Many forest fires have been link to people setting them as part creating disruption within government
CO2 is the cop put, why? It is easy to blame CO2 on natural disaster vs the real issue which is urban planning.
All level of governments are failing to do proper risk management plans in terms of mitigating impact of disasters.
Liberals have no real plan to deal with resiliency when it comes to supporting the economy!

There needs to be more effective strategy when it comes to urban planning including climate change mitigation, affordable housing, traffic congestion, supply chain disruption, green transit solution, optimization of transits, etc.

Blog – Growing the Circular Economy through better Climate Mitigation Policies
I support better policies that encourage both the private and public sectors to move their operation model to zero-waste. More work needs to be done on policies related to waste-to-energy (CCA) or abolishing carbon taxation or streamlining of regulations and taxes or tax credits for environmental work, i.e., tree plant or water management or other areas of the environment.

This presentation looks at Eco Terrorism
Eco Terrorism is growing in terms of risk. All level of government need to look at the issues including water management, land management, forest management and building codes
More radical environmentalists are trying to hijack the government agenda when it comes to environment.
Many forest fires have been link to people setting them as part creating disruption within government
CO2 is the cop put, why? It is easy to blame CO2 on natural disaster vs the real issue which is urban planning.
All level of governments are failing to do proper risk management plans in terms of mitigating impact of disasters.
Liberals have no real plan to deal with resiliency when it comes to supporting the economy!

Climate Change and the Green Economy - Canada - October 2022.pptxpaul young cpa, cga
• In previous work, we found that Canada needs to spend at least $60-80 billion each year to reach Net Zero by 2050.
• Though Canadian green spending has hit consecutive records in the last two years, it remains well behind other nations. As a share of the economy, our spending is a third of China’s and half of Europe’s.
• That gap will potentially widen as the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act pumps US$370 billion into clean investment.
• To keep pace (and hit our own targets), Canada will need to significantly boost spending on electric vehicles, heat pumps and carbon capture facilities, among other technologies.
• The bottom line: Policy has a role to play in accelerating investment. The U.S. offers a good example of this, particularly when it comes to electric vehicles and building decarbonization.

Blog – How to Mitigate the Impact of Climate Change through more balance Environmental Policies
I have written many blogs on climate change including how best to mitigate the impacts of climate change. Too many governments are focus on carbon pricing instead of addressing the real issues that are land-use, water management, expert/vertical farming practices, forestry management, recycling and the circular economy.
Not enough has been said about countries like Canada that have a large land base that absorbs carbon emissions. The focus should be on countries with poor environment policies and procedures. Canada is one of the best in world when it comes to developing its natural resources in a sustainable way.
Canada provides a natural sink for CO2. It is time for G20 to start recognizing those countries that provide the globe with natural CO2 absorption
Mitigation of Climate Change - Green and Circular Economy - April 2022.pptxpaul young cpa, cga
Summary:
Moving to zero-emissions will require a drastic improvement in energy storage and electrical vehicle range
Countries with sizeable size of critical metals have many geo-political issues
Investment in both plug-in stations will require billions of public and private sector funding
Wind and solar continue to be focus of power companies.
Green inflation is here to stay
Roof top fires are becoming a growing concern for fire services around the globe
All levels of governments need to stop subsidizing the green economy through direct grants and funding. The focus should be on tax policy including the streamlining of regulations.
How to maximized a Circular Economy and Mitigate issues with Climate Change -...paul young cpa, cga
The problem with all levels of government is they have put the cart before horse when it comes to their climate change policies. The focus should be on strategy that phases out fossil fuels over time. There also needs to be viable technology without direct government subsidies as part of transforming the power grid and transportation sector
Recycling and waste management need to adopt more technology as part of reducing the volume of garbage going into landfill sites and/or dumped into waterways.
Waterways need to be better protected from garbage and sewage.
Developing more supply of critical metals like Lithium needs to be top of the agenda. Lithium prices have skyrocketed over the past few years.

Blog – How to build a Green and Circular Economy while Protecting the Environment and Growing the Economy in Sustainable Way
I have written many presentations and blogs on the circular and green economies. My biggest frustration is that policy focus has been to narrow in areas of carbon tax and more regulations. The main drivers of environment are land, water, forest management, air quality, and waste management. Technology can play a role with protecting the environment without taxing and overregulating the economy to death. We need to protect the environment while growing an inclusive economy.
I believe more focus should be on the tax act, R&D, strategic partnerships, standardization of ESG reporting, risk, and crisis management, reforming the WTO, and better urban and rural planning. Countries that are highest polluters should be forced to change their ways!

Global Housing Market Analysis and Commentary- September 2023.pptxpaul young cpa, cga
Summary:
Homebuilders are walking a fine line when it comes to new projects as high mortgage rates curb demand.
New residential construction, including single-family homes and multifamily, dropped 11.3% month over month in August to 1.283 million units on a seasonally adjusted basis, according to Census Bureau data released Tuesday. That's down 14.8% compared with a year ago and well below the 1.44 million units economists surveyed by Bloomberg projected.
But authorized residential permits — an indicator of potential future activity — rose 6.9% to 1.543 million permits in August from July. That was still down 2.7% from last August. Single-family permits, though, were up 2% from July to 949,000. Multifamily permits came in at 535,000.
The data reflects two opposing forces builders are trying to balance: the ongoing need for new construction to fill in limited inventory and elevated mortgage rates that are hurting their biggest customer right now, the first-time homebuyer.
"High mortgage rates are clearly taking a toll on builder confidence and consumer demand, as a growing number of buyers are electing to defer a home purchase until long-term rates move lower," Robert Dietz, chief economist of the National Association of Home Builders, said Monday in a press release after builder confidence dropped for the second straight month.

Blog – Manufacturing Shipments and Orders – The United States – August 2023
Summary:
New orders for manufacturing technology in the United States totaled $353.9 million in July 2023, as per the latest report by AMT – The Association For Manufacturing Technology. This figure marked a 12.4% decline from June 2023 but remained only 10.5% lower than July 2022. Year-to-date orders amounted to $2.83 billion, reflecting a 12.7% decrease compared to the same period the previous year.
Douglas K. Woods, President of AMT, noted that July is typically a slower month for manufacturing technology orders, so a slight drop was expected. However, he pointed out a notable trend: over the last two months, the year-to-date order gap has narrowed during historically slow periods. While job shops have seen decreased orders, other industries that benefited from reshoring or government investments have helped fill the gap.
Among specific sectors, job shops, the largest customer segment, placed their lowest total monthly orders since August 2020. In contrast, metal valve manufacturers recorded their third-highest monthly order value on record, last seen in September 2018, making up nearly 5% of the total manufacturing technology order value for July 2023. Manufacturers of motor vehicle transmissions continued to order machinery at an elevated pace. However, the aerospace industry continued to order below its early 2022 peaks, with hopes that recent projects like the federal government's $1.5 billion investment in communications satellites might reverse this trend.

Stock Market Analysis and Commentary for WE September 15 2023.pptxpaul young cpa, cga
Blog – Analysis and Commentary – Stock Market – WE September 15 2023
Summary:
Stocks fell Friday as investors wrap up a volatile week ahead of the Federal Reserve's policy meeting.
The Dow Jones Industrials tumbled 288.87 points to close out Friday and the week at 34,618.24. At its lows, it completely wiped out Thursday's 332-point rally.
The S&P 500 index sank 54.78 points, or 1.2%, to 4,450.32.
The NASDAQ index plunged 217.72 points, or 1.6%, to 13,708.33.
The Dow held onto a winning week. The S&P 500 and NASDAQ both closed out the week with losses.
Information technology was the worst-performing sector in the S&P 500, down nearly 2%. Adobe shares fell more than 4% even after the software firm posted better-than-expected quarterly results. Shares of Arm Holdings were lower one day after its successful public debut.
Auto stocks General Motors and Stellantis N.V. were higher Friday, while Ford Motor was about flat. Thousands of members of the United Auto Workers went on strike after failing to reach a deal with the automakers Thursday night.
Elsewhere, Lennar shares slid 3%. The home construction firm posted third-quarter results that beat on the top and bottom lines.
On the economic front, the University of Michigan's consumer sentiment survey showed one-year inflation expectations dropped to 3.1% in
September, tied for the lowest since January 2021. Also, the five-year outlook fell to 2.7%, matching its lowest since December 2020.
Electricity Analysis - Canada and the OECD - June 2023.pptxpaul young cpa, cga
Summary:
Over three-quarters of the world’s total coal-generated electricity is consumed in just three countries. China is the top user of coal, making up 53.3% of global coal demand, followed by India at 13.6%, and the U.S. at 8.9%.
Burning coal—for electricity, as well as metallurgy and cement production—is the world’s single largest source of CO2 emissions. Nevertheless, its use in electricity generation has actually grown 91.2% since 1997, the year when the first global climate agreement was signed in Kyoto, Japan.
However, even as non-renewables enjoy their time in the sun, their days could be numbered.
In 2022, renewables, such as wind, solar, and geothermal, represented 14.4% of total electricity generation with an extraordinary annual growth rate of 14.7%, driven by big gains in solar and wind. Non-renewables, by contrast, only managed an anemic 0.4%.
The authors of the Statistical Review do not include hydroelectric in their renewable calculations, even though many others, including the International Energy Agency, consider it a “well-established renewable power technology.”
With hydroelectric moved into the renewable column, together they accounted for over 29.3% of all electricity generated in 2022, with an annual growth rate of 7.4%.

Global (Mining Oil and Gas Forestry and Agriculture) Analysis and Commentary ...paul young cpa, cga
The mining, oil, gas, agriculture, forestry, and mining continue to face environmental, social, and governance policy review including reporting of key metrics as part of ESG reporting cycle.
There is more focus on profitability and investment returns as part of the integrated planning and reporting cycle.
Summary:
The global economy faces what at least one forecaster is calling a mild trade recession as shipments from China slump and German factories downshift.
China’s export declines extended into August, though there were signs that the worst of a world trade slowdown may be over for the leading exporter.
Overseas shipments from China fell 8.8% in dollar terms from a year earlier while imports contracted 7.3%, both better than economists’ estimates and significantly less severe than July’s downturn.
Other data have suggested trade may be stabilizing after weakening for most of this year. Exports from South Korea also declined at a more moderate pace in August than the previous month.

what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.
6. Community Engagement: The Pi community plays a critical role in its future. Engaged users can help build trust and grow the network.
7. Monetization and Sustainability: The Pi team's monetization strategy, such as fees, partnerships, or other revenue sources, will affect its long-term sustainability.
It's essential to approach Pi or any new cryptocurrency with caution and conduct due diligence. Cryptocurrency investments involve risks, and potential rewards can be uncertain. The success and future of Pi will depend on the collective efforts of its team, community, and the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics. It's advisable to stay updated on Pi's development and follow any updates from the official Pi Network website or announcements from the team.

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

President Trump announced on Thursday that the United States would withdraw
from the Paris climate accord, weakening efforts to combat global warming and
embracing isolationist voices in his White House who argued that the agreement
was a pernicious threat to the economy and American sovereignty.
In a speech from the Rose Garden, Mr. Trump said the landmark 2015 pact
imposed wildly unfair environmental standards on American businesses and
workers. He vowed to stand with the people of the United States against what he
called a “draconian” international deal.

13. Air Quality
• Poor air quality countries
• Cheap dirty coal
• De-Forestation
• Carbon based economy (oil)
• Poor environment regulations for air, water and
land management
• Many countries have come along way in terms
of air quality through new regulations
• Tougher emissions control systems for cars
• Better scrubbing technology for industry
• Clean Coal
• Better management of forest (Natural Absorption

China launched nearly 8,000 water clean-up projects in the first half of 2017 with a projected total
investment of 667.4 billion yuan (US$100.2 billion).
The projects were devised as part of a 2015 action plan to treat and prevent water pollution, and
covered 325 contaminated groundwater sites across the country. A total of 343 contaminated sites
had been identified, meaning that 95 per cent had drawn up plans to bring water quality up to
required standards.
Large amounts of China’s water have been rendered unusable as a result of poorly regulated
industrial expansion, overmining and the uncontrolled use of pesticides and fertilisers.

Nova Scotia is at risk of becoming an island within decades if action is not taken to fix the
275-year-old dikes that prevent flooding of the isthmus connecting the province to the rest
of Canada, officials warn.
Mayor David Kogon of Amherst, N.S., said sea levels are projected to rise in the Bay of
Fundy over 15 to 20 years to the point where the Isthmus of Chignecto will flood, even
without a storm surge
22. Houston / Urban Sprawl
Source - https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/aug/31/real-villains-harvey-flood-urban-sprawl
Houston’s catastrophic flood will be framed by leaders in Texas as an unforeseeable act
of God. It isn’t. Houston’s unfettered sprawl into the marshland of southeast Texas was a
conscious choice by policymakers. So was building a global city on a slowly submerging
swamp. Both were decisions that led to disaster.
Houston has quietly become our fourth largest and fastest-growing city, due in large part
to cheap housing. But the latter has come at an exorbitant cost to its safety. The swamps
and wetlands that once characterized Houston’s hinterland have been replaced with strip
malls and suburban tract homes.

33. Other issues
• Too many countries are using carbon tax/pricing to cut emission without any real success
• Government are masking green policies as they are helping the environment which in fact all
they have done is hike taxes as well as increase the cost of power generation
• Environment has many pieces to it. The focus of many governments has been to narrow
• Poor land and water management policies
• Too many governments are not taking a balance approach to both environment and the
economy.
34. NDP
Plan
Source - https://www.canadianmanufacturing.com/manufacturing/ndp-unveils-parts-
of-climate-plan-in-motion-as-the-green-party-edges-closer-232535/
The pledge is one contained
in an NDP motion expected
today in the House of
Commons that will lay out
eight broad strokes of the
NDP’s climate change
platform. The motion asks
for Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau to declare “an
environment and climate
emergency” as well as
pledge to cut emissions
more deeply, eliminate
government aid to the fossil
fuel industry and cancel the
planned expansion of the
Trans Mountain pipeline.
Do you understand tax code? Oil earns an income which is subjected to tax. Oil gets deductions for CCA, Royalties, payroll
taxes, etc. So, where are these subsidies? Clean Technology gets direct subsidies. I suggest you go read what a subsidy means
and stop trying to say tax deduction are subsidies.
1. Here is the annual report - https://www.suncor.com/investor-centre/financial-reports/annual-disclosure. Show in this report where
there is direct business subsidy
2. Direct Business subsidies is when a government gives a direct grant to a business - https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/subsidy.asp
Government has given out direct subsidies to clean technology for years -
https://www.forbes.com/sites/williampentland/2018/04/29/federal-subsidies-for-solar-and-wind-fell-sharply-in-recent-years-says-
new-report/#3d6c8611fa9a and you say nothing
3. All businesses follow the ITA as part of eligibility for deduction.
4. Auditor-General has called out failed hydro subsidies - https://business.financialpost.com/opinion/the-ontario-power-systems-broken-
auditor-general
5. 100% renewable? https://globalnews.ca/news/4207036/ontario-green-party-platform-conservation/ . Canada gets 80% of their power
from clean sources. 100% would never work as it would not be affordable.
6. Tax Avoidance? Does this mean green will change the whole tax code? The party would also spend $4.1 billion over four years on
mental health services, which they say they could help pay for by improving collections and reducing tax avoidance?
7. They would also mandate 20 per cent of units in new housing builds be affordable, expand the protected land known as the Greenbelt,
and spend more money on transit. – There are systemic issues with real estate including land, permits, construction costs -
https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/real-estate-canada-march-2019
8. Old economy? “We need to skate to where the puck is going, and not where it’s been,” Leader Mike Schreiner said. “The other parties
are clinging to an old economy, but we see a better way forward – GDP is made up 30% goods producing. Goods producing jobs pay
on average 40% more than service sector - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/canada-gdp-january-2019
9. . A centerpiece promise is a $4.2-billion program to give grants and loans to businesses and homeowners for energy conservation. –
This will do nothing if hydro rates go through the roof. There are already incentives via CCA and/or other options to business.
10. Canada oil is both ethically and environmentally more friendly that other jurisdictions around the world -

35. Unfair Carbon Pricing Model
• https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/completely-inconsistent-carbon-taxes-applied-unequally-between-provinces-new-report-says
• “In provinces whose carbon pricing plans have the federal government’s approval, the increase in gas prices is substantially
smaller than those under the federal tax”
• No big surprised as the Liberal pushed out the tax without any proper understanding how it would work from province to province!
• Ontario emissions have been following since 2005 due to many factors the elimination of coal generation, more fuel efficient technology
and the loss of manufacturing jobs/investment - https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services/environmental-
indicators/greenhouse-gas-emissions.html
• BC emissions have been rising despite the carbon tax - https://www.energeticcity.ca/2019/01/co2-emissions-continue-to-rise-in-b-c-
despite-provincial-carbon-tax/
• Canada’s carbon tax will not fixed bad policies when it comes to forest management, land management, water management and urban
planning - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/environment-canada-whats-next
• People are seeing the carbon tax as nothing more than a tax grab, especially as CO2 is not a pollutant -
https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/art-of-taxing-pollution-canada-environment
•
36. What’s next
• We need to stop blaming CO2 for all issues facing the environment
• We need to stop the carbon tax as it is doing nothing when it comes to
fixing other areas of the environment
• Government needs to stream its operation to put more focus on frontline
services and less focus on administration
• More audits of environmental policies including spending/outcomes
• Better assessment of risk management
• All levels of government need to start using Risk Analytics/AI as
part of managing their policies and spending
• Federal government, provinces, municipal govt and the private sector
need to work together on how best to move the environment forward
• Clearing grass by rails
• Approving pipelines
• Waste water/storm water management
• Smarter urban planning
